Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Wasilla, AK

Namtvedt Northcut & Associates is an accounting practice based in Wasilla, Alaska. It works with small businesses, owners, executives and individuals throughout the Mat-Su Valley and nearby communities such as Palmer and Anchorage. The firm traces its local roots back roughly three decades. It positions itself as an affordable source of bookkeeping, tax and advisory help for organizations that want a clearer view of their finances.

Bookkeeping and Back-Office Support

The firm does not market a standalone accounts payable outsourcing product. Its business offering does cover the recordkeeping work that typically includes tracking and recording vendor bills. Companies weighing a local partner for payables and general ledger upkeep will find a practice built around small business books and QuickBooks expertise. The firm also helps clients design internal controls, which matters for anyone tightening approval and disbursement procedures. Business-side services include:

• Ongoing bookkeeping and small business accounting
• Payroll processing and help resolving payroll tax issues
• QuickBooks setup, staff training and file tune-ups, plus discounted software purchases
• Internal controls review
• Bank financing support, strategic planning and succession planning
• Help forming new business entities

Tax and IRS Representation

Tax work is a large part of the practice. The team prepares returns for both companies and individuals and offers forward-looking tax planning. It also advises on cryptocurrency reporting. For clients in trouble with federal authorities, the firm handles audit representation and unfiled returns.

It also deals with liens, levies, wage garnishments, offers in compromise, installment agreements and innocent spouse claims. The firm stresses that employers who have fallen behind on withholding deposits should get professional help before talking with the IRS.

Team and Credentials

The practice began as Namtvedt & Company, CPAs. Katherine (Katie), an IRS Enrolled Agent, joined that firm in 2014 and was mentored by founder Teri Namtvedt. Katie bought the business in 2022 and renamed it Namtvedt Northcut & Associates. Teri is a longtime CPA whose background spans nonprofits, business plans, grant reporting and payroll.

She has scaled back but still works on a limited basis. The current staff includes CPAs Kim and Staci, Tax Manager Amiee and Staff Accountant Elizabeth. Together they bring public accounting, nonprofit and governmental experience. According to the firm, every CPA on staff holds a valid Alaska certificate.

Working With the Firm

Prospective clients begin by booking a consultation. Existing clients exchange documents through a secure online portal and can use an online tax organizer. The firm also publishes a monthly newsletter along with reference guides on topics such as record retention and filing deadlines. The practice emphasizes integrity, ethics and close communication, a point echoed in client testimonials.

For Alaska businesses seeking a hands-on local team rather than a software-only AP platform, it offers a combined bookkeeping, payroll and tax relationship under one roof.
